My dear fellows,

As you all know, we are all building pearltrees together. But what is the exact acception of Pearltrees? Of course pearltrees is a website, but it is also a content. Like youtube or wikipedia pearltrees offers some content, some pearls organized on trees. And now, time has come for us, members of the community, to build some pearltrees and to help our community growth.

This is our mission together for the next 3 months : build a beautiful pearltrees in order to be proud to invite and welcome our friends the first weeks of february. So, we are trying to animate, to recruit motivated people that want to join our fellowship and that can make interesting pearltrees. We are sure that you can also want to participate to this part…

So we have prepared with the London pearltrees club and Caroline and Maud of San Francisco, this living document dedicated to explain the “whys” and “whats” of pearltrees community. I am sure you will enjoy reading it, commenting it and partcipating to it. So you are invited to join our weekly meeting of thursday at 2pm (Paris time) to discuss about pearltrees commmunity. Join us by skype : francoisrocaboy, it is really easy, just one rule : everyone must participate…

See you on thursday

François

Creating collaboratively a product like pearltrees is of course a lot of “product and community” related activities… and a bit of “other” related ones. Yes, we do need to eat… so we had last week our first board meeting with the investors’ representatives.

It was an excellent meeting. We’ve discussed the progress so far on the company creation, the product development, the competitive landscape and the budget. Everybody was happy and satisfied with what they’ve seen. We then moved on to the main challenges ahead such as product development, go-to-market approach and impact of the financial crisis. Some good ideas were bounced around and discussed on the go-to-market. On the crisis, everybody was confident that it will not affect directly pearltrees in the short term and that we should go forward as planned. That was already our impression but it’s good to see that we are all aligned.

Now, back 100% on the product!
